Askew OK’s Bill Giving 1 8- Year-Olds Adult Rights
By MARK TARGE
Ol The Hurricane Sletl
Gov. Rcubin Askew, a teetotaler who dislikes drinking and gambling, signed into law Wednesday a biM that would give 18-year-olds the right to drink and gamble as well as all other adult privileges.
Described as a straight-laced Presbyterian elder, Askew had several reservations about some aspects of the bill, effective July I, but signed it in light of his “confidence in the younger generation.”
The bill while being buffeted through the bureaucracy of legislation encountered such arguments as those by
Sen. Dempsey Barron and Sen. Charles H. Weber.
Barron said 18-20 year-olds might be less inclined to use marijuana or experiment with other drugs if they were allowed to drink beer or cocktails.
He said that the only difference is that liquor is legal for adults, while marijuana is illegal for all.
Weber noted that in 10 of the 33 states allowing 18-year -olds to drink, automobile accidents and traffic fatalities have risen sharply. He said young people are not mature enough to know when they have had too much to drink to drive safely.

said.
In talking to the younger students in the past, Pineda said he learned they feel odd coming to the Rathskeller and not being able to partake in Happy-hour and other activities.
“For the first time it will be available to all students,” Pineda said.
A new system of checking age will have to be devised to accomodate the new law, but as Pineda explains: “These are the type of problems we like to work with.”
Financially, he says, <t will stimulate business. Not only beer and wine, but food as well.
“The crux of the situation is this,” Pineda said, "it now makes the philosophy of the Rathskeller a total University facility.”.
Also affected are campus housing regulations, which according to James Grimm, Housing Director, “ . . will be under immediate advisement.”
Grimm and his staff were equally enthused with the ruling, and the changes it would bring.
“Several policies will probably be adjusted, although "as of right now I really
don’t know which ones,” G'rimm said.
Two of those policy’s probably being changed include: The University drinking policy and the residency requirement of Freshmen.
And for those students living in campus facilities who had to have their contracts with Southern Bell signed by their parents, Mary Hutton, a Southern Bell Business Office Supervisor said, “I don't think there’ll be much of a change.”
“We really haven't given it much thought," she added
The present ruling states you must be 25 years of age

Win For "Scotty’
Contest Is UM’s Closest
By CHUCK GOMEZ
Humean* Associate Editor
A jubilant crowd of friends and supporters cheered long and loud last night at the Rathskeller as a nervous but happy Scott “Scotty” Anderson heard the news he had been elected UM's next student body president.
“I plan on getting in there and working right away as I promised,” Anderson told some 200 supporters who thronged the Rat. “The students can expect a good year ahead with more rights on campus.”
UM’s closest election in student government history, Anderson edged out Richard Potash by 26 votes in a spirited runoff election. Anderson received 899 votes to Potash’s 873.
Marjorie Feldman was elected vice-president with 930 votes to Phil Medico’s 844. Steve Machat pulled ahead of Robin Chvat in the treasurer’s race late last night. He received 939 votes; Chvat, 867.
Hurricane Editor, Eric Baloff described the scene from the Rat as “happy pandemonium” as Anderson made his way through a wave of screaming supporters to address students.
Just an hour before election commission members worked feverishly to tally the results in what advisor Howard Winneman called “the best run election in the past four years.”
Final tabulations showed Anderson, past president of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, sneaking by Potash, a past student Supreme Court justice. “It’s the closest presidential election I've seen,” said commission member Victor Hecht.
Andy Fleischer, who launched a last minute write-in campaign for the presidency, received 48 votes. Election commission chairman Ed Mills reported 1,941 students turned out to vote.

Women on campus who are pregnant, and for some reason cannot decide if they want a child, can go to certain organizations or people at UM who can help them.
One such organization is the Open Door located at Apartment 49-K.
Two volunteers working there, Lynn and Cher, explained the procedures involved if a girl believes she is pregnant and requests information on abortion.
“When a girl calls, the first thing we ask is if she has had a pregnancy test,” Lynn said. “We can refer them to clinics who will do them for as little as three dollars.”
If the test confirms pregnancy, Open Door will not tell a girl what to do. They only advise them of all the possibilities that can be chosen.
“If she wants to have the baby," Cher added, “we can refer her to people who can talk to her and give her all the help they can in council-ing."
Open Door has a list of many medical clinics in the Miami area that will perform abortions.
"When you go for an abortion, you are in a place where all the girls have the same problem,” Lynn said.

Mjnasa turned to philanthropist Robert
Townsend for support. Townsend is author of “Up the Organization" and former president of Advise-Rent-a-Car.
“He airmailed a check to me (from his home in New York) in one week,” Manasa said.
Manasa explained that the only motive for Townsend's contribution was the belief in the value of the program.
Summon is a three credit course at UM which involves students working in the local community to help others. The course is for credit only, hut may be taken in addition to a regular credit only subject.
Summon students work six hours weekly, receiving credit in economics, educational psychology or sociology. Students are monitored during the semester by members of the respective departments.
"We have people working at the Dade County Jail, the Haven School for the Mentally Retarded, and Carver Junior High among the 16 participating institutions,” Manasa said, “helping people to learn to read and care for themselves.”
Active at UM for four years, Summon has involved 1,053 student-tutors in the program, 110 this semester, Manasa said.
